Leopardi told the Davis County commission an $8,000 contract from the state to fund the program next year was with clinics. Fees couples at were charged on a sliding fee schedule according to a patients income and number of family members. drawn. He said funds would have to be found within the county to continue family services but the commissioners tabled consideration of county funding until a later date. Funds were used in the past n for a nurse from the Health Department to conduct family planning clinics in Davis County.

Leopardi said there were 77 new cases and 72 revisits at 33 clinics from June 30, 1982, to July 1, 1983. Home visits numbered 203 during the fiscal year. The program was first funded by the state in March, 1973. The state had increased this years contract by $2,000 and the program was budgeted in the 1984 health department budget. will still be available from private physicians in Davis County and public physicians at Hill Air Force Base. Weber and Salt Lake Counties will also continue to offer the service, he said. Leopardi says there is need for family planning services offered by health departments. He said the clientele of the Davis County program liked the convenience of the area location and many were able to afford the service because of the sliding fee scale, rather than a fixed fee. People with low income or no income were able to get the service at no charge, he said. The commissioners authorized the payment of $390 to Weber County for services already provided this year. Leopardi asked the commission to consider continuing the program with county funds. - Approves J: S' , - , t .a- - ' a , A V ' ' $ , 5 , 4 Flood Projects BARRY KAWA Review Staff - FARMINGTON The concepts of four flood control proj-- . ects in Centerville, Fruit Heights and West Bountiful were approved by the Davis County commissioners last week. The projects are high priority items on the countys flood control plans to complete before an anticipated heavy spring runoff period. Funds from a recent $12 million bond sale will be used to finance the four projects and others that are approved by the county flood control committee and the commission. Work will begin on the controversial Deuel Creek project in Centerville. Planning Director Rick Mayfield said digging the hole of a debris basin at the base of Deuel Creek Canyon will give the area some immediate protection. He said the county flood control committee felt the site was the best available despite some residents protests in a recent Centerville public hearing on proposed flood control projects. Since the state engineer must also review the plans for the basin, Mayfield felt the project could not be completed before spring and proposed the excavation work be done first. Funding of a pit area on the site will come from the flood control - funds. The installation of a culvert on 400 South in Centerville received conceptual approval and the project will be redesigned to feature a type of lift-otop so the culvert can be easily cleaned. Street crossing culverts at 400 East, Main Street and 200 South will also be designed. & ff The Baer Creek debris basin in Fruit Heights was approved. A 600 to wall will be built along the south side of the creek from the mouth of Baer Canyon to Highway 89. The wall will be between 15 and 20 feet high and allow debris flow to be diverted to an area just west of. the area. A spillway on the mountain road will also be removed. 700-foot-lo- ft, mv estimated 100,000 to of sediment remains unsettled in Baer Canyon. The project cost is estimated at $350,000 and bids are hoped to be received in 30 days." An 120,000 cubic yards In West Bountiful, the proposed realignment of Mill Creek was conceptually approved by the commissioners. Commissioner Harold J. Tippetts noted some people felt in a recent West Bountiful public hearing that the Phillips Petroleum oil refinery benefits most from the proposal. &. Staff Photo by Rodney Wright .

CLEARFIELD - Conditional approval for a proposed $56 million Davis County waste recovery plant was given by the Clearfield Planning Commission last week. By a 2 margin the commissioners approved the site plan with several conditions attached that must be met by the recovery plant developer. Included in these conditions is that written authorization must be obtained from the property owner of the proposed site at 1550 E. 700 S. in Clearfield.. Also required is confirmation -- on-si- te 3-- that the plants smoke stack meets Federal Aviation Administration height requirements and wont interfere with air traffic from Hill Field. The commissioners also requested an update on the State Air Conservation Committee ruling that the plant have an acid gas scrubber control. Utah Bureau of Air Quality director Brent Bradford is expected to decide shortly on an ap- peal of the committees September ruling requiring the expensive controls.

The library board justified the increase from figures which show the cost of library service to Davis County residents, excluding Kaysville and Layton, at $25.90 a household. Kaysville and Layton assess their residents separate library mill levies that go into city coffers. The Kaysville levy goes to operate their city library and Laytons into a library construction fund. The board agreed to charge single persons with no families $12.50 a year. The board last week accepted a Layton City offer to make the reimbursement schedule for card purchasers more convenient. Residents wanting a card do not have to pay the $25 fee but must sign a list at the library desk. Each month, the city will reimburse the county for the number of cards obtained. Some board members felt Kaysville residents should be exempted from the increase because they support their own city library and the city does not .reimburse for library cards. , Englisch cc is to serve that person, he said.
